“waiting”…my poem

“waiting”…my poem

what are their names?

 

 

waiting

 

I wait.

The waiting.

 

The words take their time,

they tumble with my musing,

they taunt and tempt

   and temporize,

the words can hide and peek,

they wait to be a gush,

I want to call to them

   but I do not know their names,

each one in its own moment

   quivers in the poem-to-be,

waits for me to grab the quill,

and I wait.
